Get incoming links from Facebook – No catch !

Man we SEOs are kinda obsessed with getting backlinks isn’t it? I would not mind if someone called me up in the midnight to let know of a way to source incoming links from “unexplored, valuable” sources – Like Facebook.

And now we have an option to source incoming links from facebook. Yep! Crawlable, links from facebook pages that are indexed by search engines. Here’s how.

Create a new page under a suitable category, and add your sites RSS feeds to the content. It’s as simple as it, but for the ones who need guidance, here’s the details.

1. Log on to facebook, Go to Pagemanager.
2. Create a new page
3. Make sure you have content filled in to all the required fields (optional)
4. Goto Add applications link
5. Select a good RSS application that displays your content with necessary tweakable options.

The pages would have URL something similar to http://www.facebook.com/pages/yourpagename/16353671142

Something to note here while creating the page.
Use the page options properly and fill in with relevant content that will support the links and any targeted keywords if at all any.
Choose the category into which the page will be placed with care, you might want to select a topic relevant category.
Choose the page name properly, rather than a fancy name use it cleverly.

The links displayed on the page are crawlable by search engines, and links indexed, this has been tested and confirmed. But it is critical that you do it carefully and not create a page just for the sake of getting some backlinks.
